Nicholas Race just wanted his pilot's license back. To get it, he had to qualify for and complete a stint on Outpost, a lunar mining colony. It was a bad place, where the miners were prisoners working to reduce their sentences. Race was no criminal, just a man trying to conquer the ghosts of his past and get the part of his life back that he loved the most: flying.

However, Jim Brady was on his way to Outpost for the third time. He was no prisoner either, so it didn't make sense to Race that he would go twice, let alone three times. Race soon found out there was a rebellion brewing among the miners and Brady was at the head of it. Men were dying needlessly at Outpost, murdered by the commanders of the place. Why would the government kill them? Race wanted to find out.

OUTPOST is a story of greed and hunger for power, a hunger that would never be totally satisfied. It is also the story of the bloodlust for vengeance and its deadly consequences. Most important, though, it is the story of the courage of two men who stood in the gap to stop the madness. There are too many lessons here to enumerate, but they are all important ones. Pick up a copy and enjoy.
